"Persephone's relationship with Hades has gone public and the resulting media storm disrupts her normal life and threatens to expose her as the Goddess of Spring.

Hades, God of the Dead, is burdened by a hellish past that everyone's eager to expose in an effort to warn Persephone away.

Things only get worse when a horrible tragedy leaves Persephone's heart in ruin and Hades refusing to help. Desperate, she takes matters into her own hands, striking bargains with severe consequences.

Faced with a side of Hades she never knew and crushing loss, Persephone wonders if she can truly become Hades' queen."

My Rating:4.5/5

I don't think this one was as good as the first one for me but the sequel was excellent! I think that the momentum continued and that the author really took the plot in an interesting direction. The only thing that I found was a lot was happening in a short period. This meant that some of the things that I wished had had more time for were brushed over, while others seemed to drag on for me. Also, the spice in this is phenomenal! I look forward to continuing the series.

Thanks for reading,

Sidny
